About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

May have also been known as the WILSON Cemetery

This old lost cemetery is off of Highway 59 and County Road 720S in Jackson Township, Parke Co and was known to the locals as the "Harris Cemetery" due to the number of Harris' buried there.

This cemetery was destroyed in the 1980s along with all the records. There are no stones left. The bodies are still there and the area is now protected. There were around 25 burials at this cemetery.

An 8mm film was made in 1987 that provided the names and dates of two of the stones there. The film was cut short due to sleet. By the time the crew returned to the area to finish documenting the stones, the cemetery had been destroyed. There were many stones shown in the background but could not be read off the film.

Thanks to Mark McCrady for his diligence in locating this old lost cemetery. And thanks to Rick Thompson for his help in this venture. [CCurry]
